Yozz'd up 182
Just a thread to track progress in one place and to be able to see how the car progresses.
Got it 1 year ago exactly at 19.
It was a Cat D write off, needed the belts doing but was only just on 19k miles.
No cup packs which didnt overally bother me but the spoiler would of been nice.
Cost me just over 3k and at that price i couldnt say no.
This was it the day i got it, after putting my headunit in.
First small update was badge spraying!
Ford graphite grey. With the hope of doing the wheels at a later date.
Then my private plate and a little sticker
Fcs was coming up and i didnt want my lovely precurbed wheels letting the rest of the car down.
So over a bank holiday i did them the same as the badges.
Then it was FCS the first car show/meet id ever been too. It was nice being parked on the stand with a car i was happy with (at the time). Met a couple of nice members and then headed home.
After FCS i started to think about further modding.
I have not got any picture of it but i bought a yozza and decat off a member of here.
Getting the standard exhaust off intact was the hardest bit. Also had to bodge the exhaust brackets.
Random picture from around that time.
After this i decided as prices were dropping fast i probably wouldnt sell the car on. And so may aswell have some fun with. I set myself a target to get a trackday done in 2011.
My mrs bought me these for my birthday after complaining for so long that my car looked like a tractor.
FK konigsports. The extra cost for the ajustable damping i thought would be usefull if i ever really got into track days.
Some picture fitted.
Then it went to danny at 519 for the belts doing after a silt whine developed from an aux tensioner. Just telling me they were due.
After that i noticed the front pads were running low. I doubt they have ever been changed.
Thought i may aswell go the whole hog. Put some new mintex pads in the back, and have bought these for the fronts.
Just waiting for some DS2500's
Also bought some valver wheels off a member on here and am currently in the middle of refurbing and spraying to use as track wheels.
Have also bought a skoda splitter and tow eye and have also changed the badge colour again.
Here is the car as it stands tonight.
Looking at that picture it could do with spacers. But they arent as bad in person.
